Grrr blah, anger splutter NE Rev 2 TFC 1

Selfie with friends

TFC lose to New England and I am steaming (like seafood in a big pot being prepared for chowder).Losing to Montreal in Toronto the other night was tough.Now following that with a loss to New England might even be tougher.But don't depend on me to have detached analysis on the matter.Two losses in a row for TFC now, first time in 2017. Late September is not the time for a pre-playoff season stumble. I detest the New England Revs. Perhaps I don't require reasons, but will fling about a few. Their "good friend of Trump" owner, Kraft. A multi-billionaire who pinches pennies when it comes to his soccer team. Everyone hates the cruddy playing surface in Foxboro. Nobody is a fan of the way the stadium screams "soccer is less important than NFL" with that mishmash of lines all over the field. I used to count Jay Heaps as another reason to be negative about the team, but they fired him as coach just the other day.So I will search for positives and only think about TFC.Benoit Cheyrou should be healthy enough to return soon. TFC need his steel, I felt that Raheem Edwards and Marky Delgado were getting bodied. Vazquez stood up for himself and I was proud that he earned a yellow card for comments to the ref. TFC did not allow 5 goals.The Bradley diagonal pass and the Hasler finish on TFC's goal was a quality offensive play. It needed many more like it all night.The game is over, two home games left and then the possibly meaningless road game in Atlanta to close the season.Still boiling...
